  2. Chip log - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_log

    A navigator who needed to know the speed of the vessel had a sailor drop the log over the ship's stern. The log acted as a drogue , remaining roughly in place while the vessel moved away. The sailor let the log-line run out for a fixed time while counting the knots that passed over.

  3. Speedometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer

    A speedometer or speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. Now universally fitted to motor vehicles , they started to be available as options in the early 20th century, and as standard equipment from about 1910 onwards. [ 1 ]

  4. Velocity prediction program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_prediction_program

    A velocity prediction program (VPP) is a computer program which solves for the performance of a sailing yacht in various wind conditions by balancing hull and sail forces. VPPs are used by yacht designers, boat builders, model testers, sailors, sailmakers, also America's Cup teams, to predict the performance of a sailboat before it has been built or prior to major modifications.

  5. B&G - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B&G

    Data that is collected may include apparent wind speed, apparent wind angle, boat speed, heading, position (Latitude/Longitude) and depth. By combining and analysing these inputs a B&G system can calculate and display in real time information such as true wind speed, true wind direction, course over ground, Velocity made good , time and ...

  6. Hull speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed

    Hull speed or displacement speed is the speed at which the wavelength of a vessel's bow wave is equal to the waterline length of the vessel. As boat speed increases from rest, the wavelength of the bow wave increases, and usually its crest-to-trough dimension (height) increases as well. When hull speed is exceeded, a vessel in displacement mode ...

  7. Polar diagram (sailing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_diagram_(sailing)

    A polar diagram, or polar plot, is a graph that shows a sailboat's potential speed over a range of wind speeds and relative wind angles. [1] It normally consists of the right side of a line chart with the radius representing the yacht speed and the angle representing the wind direction blowing from top to bottom. Several lines are normally ...

  9. Velocity made good - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_made_good

    Velocity made good, or VMG, is a term used in sailing, especially in yacht racing, indicating the speed of a sailboat towards (or from) the direction of the wind. [1] [2] The concept is useful because a sailboat cannot sail directly upwind, and thus often can not, or should not, sail directly to a mark to reach it as quickly as possible.
